Saw this on a friends’ FB wall yesterday and had to share it.  This unusual scene was caught on camera by a friend in Dubai over the weekend.  It was UAE National Day and looks like our friend Mr Camel got to chill out in the back seat before heading back out to the desert.

Reminds me of the ‘Camel Ride’ picture I managed to take in Jordan last year. 

Camels are cute. What do you think ?

WW #56 : Spider Trees

webby tree

An unexpected side effect of the 2010 flooding in parts of Sindh, Pakistan, was that millions of spiders climbed up into the trees to escape the rising flood waters; because of the scale of the flooding and the fact that the water took so long to recede, many trees became cocooned in spider webs. People in the area had never seen this phenomenon before ... photo courtesy National Geographic

cubby love

Awwww !!! Isn’t this just the most adorable photo ever ??!! I wouldn’t mind having a baby cub put their lil’ paws around me !  If you haven’t already guessed, I’m a sucker for the big cats (not the house cats) and seeing cute pics like this just make me want to get a cub for myself !

Found this via the Creative Journal which was featuring photos from the International Photography Awards (2011) site and had to share it.

WW #48 : Happy Goat = Smiley Goat

happy goat

This photo was taken by photographer Daniel Boswell on his recent trip to India where I had the pleasure of working with him on my clients’ wedding.  Doesn’t the goat look super happy to have his picture taken ?

Once he’s had a chance to settle back and share some photos of the wedding; I’ll give you all a sneak peak of his creative photography.

Happy #WordlessWednesday folks !

We know who’s the man in this family ! Daddy goat all dressed up and waiting for Mummy goat and Kid to finish their snacks !

Photo courtesy of my friend who took it on one of her trips across India.

pink dot donkey

Who said you can’t mix polka dots and stripes ? My mate actually came across a group of donkeys covered in bright pink circles and stripes.

I do hope that the colour wasn’t a toxic colour and just food colour.

How on earth did they manage to load a full grown Ox / Buffalo (whatever that is – and it’s definitely not a cow) on that rickshaw looking carrier ??

My mate DA is giggling away wondering if they are taking it home for lunch !!! It’s a ‘special consignment’ !

Have you ever seen anything like this ?? Well if you’re living in India – I’m sure you have.  This photo was taken in Agra at the end of May this year when I went for a road trip with another girlfriend SH.

I couldn’t resist taking this photograph a few months ago whilst I was visiting Jaipur … My mate SH and I had gone up to The Sun Temple and found this cow standing over and checking out the city view.

From this angle – it looks like a pretty moo-tastic view to me ! If only I could have gotten a shot between her horns – now that would have made for a wicked photo !

I would really appreciate if you can leave a comment – it’s so sad knowing that you’ve come here and checked out the photograph but not even said a word *sigh* .. ok ok fine – you can even say you hate the picture :P and if you are participating in Wordless Wednesday – make sure you post your link on the linky below !

Just look at this crocodile smile !!! He has such an evil glint in his eyes; despite the fact that he’s got bulging eyes – the beady pupil makes me a bit nervous !

I met this little fellow in Pattaya a few months ago and at some point he kinda grew on me ! I have a picture of moi kissing this crazy fiend AND one of me sitting on his dad !!! OMG I was freaking out !!! But I loved every second of it !

As most of you know – I’m a camera-holic – and this picture proves my point that almost everybody - even animals -  smiles for the camera ! Have a great Wednesday everyone !

 

 

smoking crowsSeriously – this is NOT a work of Photoshop !

I was catching up on some international news via Metro.co.uk (one of my favourite papers of all times!) and came across these ‘Smoking Crows’ and couldn’t get over how these guys managed to hold cigarettes in their beaks !

The nicotine-loving birds were photographed in the Maldives by British tourists Tony and Judie Ellis (who happen to come from a town called Crowborough in Sussex, England – seriously no joke here !).  Basically the couple saw the crows land on the thatched roof of a water villa next to theirs; when one of the crows coolly began taking the cigarettes out of the packet and laying it on to the roof – only for other crows to come along and pick the cigarettes up in their beaks.

Now obviously the crows weren’t ‘actually’ smoking .. but daaaaaamn if they were – it would be a sight to see !!! I still can’t get over the fact that these crows are smoking ! One of the comments on the pictures I saw around the web – stated that these were not crows but really Jackdaws (I’m not much of a bird person so wouldn’t even be able to tell the difference!)
